Although the Resistance does operate corvettes, very few survived the Scourge invasion. Being designed to operate from atmosphere, they were the very furthest ships from any jump point and had to face the first waves of Scourge corvettes and Strike Carriers. Those that did escape were generally forced to withdraw early on due to combat damage.
However, such small ships require modest orbital slips to construct. As a result of the obvious need to protect their Strike Carriers, many Resistance fleets with the resources have attempted to build new ones, with mixed success. Certainly, the Vega Scrapfleet has proved capable, and of course Kalium builds these hunter-killers in large quantities. The Munifex is a fairly typical corvette – fast, atmospheric-capable and designed to kill Strike Carriers, as well as their opposite numbers. It is armed with specialist missiles, much like the UCM’s Santiago class.

This set contains 6 Resistance Corvettes. These diminutive ships are some of the smallest available to Resistance commanders. Armed with NCA-1 Missiles, these Close Action weapons are excellent at fighting in atmosphere, and get more powerful the more you shoot, thanks to the Squadron-3 special rule.

This set includes:

• 6 Resin Miniatures
• 6 Dropfleet Bases

Resin miniatures supplied unpainted and unassembled. This kit will require cleaning and assembly, and could need some small holes filled. Other ships and gaming mats are for scale purposes only. Clear acrylic bases will require super glue and may have a protective blue film on one side that will need removing.

Cruisers are the most common size of capital ship and form the backbone of almost every fleet fighting in the Reconquest. They offer an excellent and flexible combination of speed, firepower and versatility. The standard cruiser hull is so ubiquitous that its design has been redefined many times for a wide variety of roles.

This set includes:

• 1 Cruisers
• 1 Dropfleet Bases

Miniatures supplied unpainted and unassembled. This kit will require cleaning and assembly. Plastic Miniatures will need to be assembled using plastic glue. Clear acrylic bases will require super glue and may have a protective blue film on one side that will need removing.

Frigates are small, fast combat vessels designed primarily for flanking and first strike missions. They are the most common fighting ship type present in most fleets in the Reconquest. Some variants also provide vital support roles complementing the efforts of the main fleet.

This set includes:

• 4 Frigates
• 4 Dropfleet Bases

Miniatures supplied unpainted and unassembled. This kit will require cleaning and assembly. Plastic Miniatures will need to be assembled using plastic glue. Clear acrylic bases will require super glue and may have a protective blue film on one side that will need removing.

The Centurion was the most common standardised vessel of cruiser tonnage in the pre-war EAA Terran Grand Fleet, where as the Gladiator was a limited production test-bed for Vent Cannon technology. In those days the definition of Cruiser was somewhat broader; today, such a bulky vessel is designated as a Grand Cruiser, a classification not really in use with the UCMF. In bulk (though not in firepower), these ships are more akin to a modern Heavy Cruiser. The two have  truly excellent ceramic armour plating that outclasses all but defence monitors in the modern UCMF.
The Centurion's simple but effective all-gun primary armament provides an excellent blend of destructive power and reliability. Its broadsides of transition mass drivers, alongside an oversized twin pure mass driver turret require low weapon maintenance - a welcome factor for the Resistance.
The Gladiator on the other hand trades the mass drivers for Heavy Vent Cannons: dangerous weapons that the UCM long gave up on due to the number of accidents and dangerous internal
meltdowns caused. The Resistance has been able to overlook these flaws, as Vent Cannons are especially devastating. Such power is particularly attractive to Kalium – the rogue Colony has produced fully three times the number of this class than were laid-down before the Scourge invasion.

This set contains 1 Resistance Grand Cruiser, able to be built as either a Centurion or a Gladiator. This brand new Earth-pattern ship supersedes the older Exclusive miniature we produced, moving its turret to the top, and adding a new front keel reminiscent of the rest of the Resistance range.

With extremely heavy armour and devastating weaponry, these ships bring a lot to your games, and will quickly become a priority target for your opponents! The Centurion class is more reliable in its damage output (and doesn't hurt itself!), but the Gladiator will surely find a home due to its outrageously destructive Heavy Vent Cannons.

This set includes:

• 1 Resin Miniature
• 1 Dropfleet bases

Miniatures supplied unpainted and unassembled. This kit will require cleaning and assembly. Plastic Miniatures will need to be assembled using plastic glue. Clear acrylic bases will require super glue and may have a protective blue film on one side that will need removing.

Despite maintaining existing pre-war designs, the shipyards of Kalium have made little in the way of innovation. That was until the Battle for Earth, where Kalium shipyards made efforts to "brand" their new refined ships following losses.

The Kalium KNC-5 Line Cruiser is a Kalium designed light cruiser. These ships are a refinement over the pre-war ships that Kalium had been producing in vast numbers. Now more indicative of the brutalist design aesthetic that permeates Kalium designs. The KNC-5 Line Cruiser is equipped with two Vent Cannon Turrets as well as NC-16 Missile Banks.

While the KNC-5 is geared towards risky close range combat, the KNC-12 offers a more supportive role within the Kalium fleet. This Fleet Carrier has a full broadside of launch bays, with prodigious fighter and bomber compliment, and can support its wings with a top mounted Vent Cannon Turret.

These ships offer an alternate visual style but still follow the normal rules for Resistance Light Cruisers with the appropriate loadout.

This set includes:

• 2 Resin Miniatures
• 2 Dropfleet Bases

Resin miniatures supplied unpainted and unassembled. This kit will require cleaning and assembly, and could need some small holes filled. Other ships and gaming mats are for scale purposes only.

The Resistance employs a huge variety of light tonnage vessels, and many offer unique capabilities not seen in capital ships. Some, such as the Aldrin colony ship, are among the oldest vessels still operating anywhere, proving their endurance. The Newton and Galileo monitors were once lynchpins of orbital defence lines, and they still excel in that role.

Their opposites, the Sagittarii and Baleares cutters, are among the fastest ships available to the Resistance admirals and offer impressive first strike capabilities. Also, being improvised forces, merchantmen inherited by the Resistance are often jerry-rigged to carry swarms of remote-operated fire ships.

This box includes

• 1 Cutter
• 2 Corvettes
• 2 Lighters
• 1 Monitor
• 1 Destroyer
• 7 Dropfleet Bases

Miniatures supplied unpainted and unassembled. This kit will require cleaning and assembly. Plastic Miniatures will need to be assembled using plastic glue. Clear acrylic bases will require super glue and may have a protective blue film on one side that will need removing.

Developed from the cruiser class ship, the Space Stations give the ships of the resistance a base among the stars. The Astrobotanical Outpost puts out a signature that no enemy fleet can ignore, drawing them away from Resistance ships.

The Resistance is finally able to assist their Fleets with the addition of the new space stations, each one providing greatly needed support.

The Resistance Grand Station provides huge fire support through the use of its Heavy Vent Cannon and dual pair XN-31-S Mass Driver Turret, giving an area of threat that no enemy ship will want to enter. This Kit can also be assembled as the Resistance Astrobotanical Outpost, still posing the Heavy Vent Cannon that can crack open any nearby ship, however this ships main role is to use its Signature Bloom to hide friendly ships. 

Space stations are integral to many scenarios in Dropfleet Commander - highly appropriate for the game's orbital combat setting!

This set includes:

• 1 Resin Miniature
• 1 Dropfleet Base

Clear acrylic bases will require super glue and may have a protective blue film on one side that will need removing.

The Newton was the most common pre-war naval defence monitor in the service of mankind. Unlike modern monitors, the class is visually closer to a space station than a ship, suiting its near-static mission profile.

This set contains 3 Resistance Monitors, all able to be built as either Newtons or Galileos. There are parts to build 3 of each, with 3 massive mass drivers and 3 space telescopes.

The craft takes the form of part spaceship and part space station; a fitting look for a monitor! Fully half of the Newton is a giant space laser! Armed with an XN-40 "Godray" Orbital Mass Driver, the Newton is truly a force to be reckoned with! Although slow, who is going to try to get close enough to a Damage 3 weapon? No one that wants to live long! Alternatively you can arm it with a big telescope, making the Galileo. This orbital telescope is excellent in a Resistance fleet for detecting enemies at extreme range. Able to Active Scan, add an extra Spike to the target and also get +1 to Critical hits, this is a real gem of a support ship!

This set includes:

• 3 Resin Miniature
• 3 Dropfleet Bases

Clear acrylic bases will require super glue and may have a protective blue film on one side that will need removing.

Built in various configurations over the years, the Sagittarii is a typical pre-war cutter, if ‘typical’ can even be applied to such a specialist ship. Almost all the ship’s power is consumed by the drives, necessitating the low power N-12 Artillery Cannon. Instead, add a set of launch bays and you have the Baleares, one of the fastest carriers in mankind’s fleets, embodying the concept of the pre-war pocket carrier.

This set contains 3 Resistance Cutters, all able to be built as either Sagittarii or Balaeres variants. There are parts to build 3 ships, of either variant, and with additional rudder pieces, you can assemble them in a variety of ways; both engines and nose can be put vertically or horizontally for more customisation.

The Sagittarii fills the classic Cutter role: annoying the enemy at high speed! The fastest ship in a Resistance fleet, it can bring its N-12 Artillery Cannons to bear frighteningly early, and often without too much support, leaving that for the rest of your ships. Although not very accurate, a squad of three can wreck even a medium Cruiser with one barrage and a bit of luck. Meanwhile the Baleares is a Pocket Carrier, providing Fighter & Bomber support for the rest of your fleet. With the same blistering speed, it can assist ships at a moment's notice - ideal for Resistance who typically have low Point Defence.

Though lacking in military resources, most fleets scattered by the Scourge invasion had a high proportion of merchantmen - rightly more likely to run than engage. Forced to be inventive, ragtag Resistance groups sought to repurpose civilian vessels to military ends. Haulers often make poor gun platforms but offer capacious internal holds. When combined with ‘repurposed’ shuttles, yachts and small transports, a formidable weapon can result: the Detonator, a hive of remote-operated, explosive-packed fire ships. The most common vessel is a Seneca class - unweildy and utilitarian, it offered pre-war traders the largest storage for the lowest cost, although many other patterns are in service in this unlikely role.
Crewing a repurposed flimsy brick fizzing with improvised time bombs is not for the sane and/or skittish. These individuals are treated with wary respect when on shore leave, notable in the bar due to singed hair - if they’ve survived to douse their burns in booze. In the service of Kalium, Detonators are employed in an altogether more sinister, regimented fashion, which says a lot of how much the Kabal values flesh and blood.

This set contains 6 Resistance Seneca Detonators. Its chunky design shows an indomitable design ethos - this thing isn't going to be interrupted!

Cast in a single piece, the model has fine detail and the angular armour plates for which the Resistance are well known. A Seneca Detonator has traded its cargo storage for explosives, able to send out loads of Fire Ships to enemy vessels. Of course a ship so full of bombs isn't going to go down quietly - it'll explode on death, causing a much bigger blast than other ships its size!

Grand battleships are smaller precursors to modern dreadnoughts. Pre-war, they were the largest fighting vessels in mankind’s arsenal. Exorbitantly costly and ultimately white elephants, they were held back from frontline engagements too often to capitalise on their prodigious firepower and incredible durability. However, this has allowed several to survive to the present day.
The oldest design was the Trident, produced exclusively in its namesake’s yards by Trident Industrial. It mounts broadsides of the largest chemically fired guns ever built. Though primitive, they have negligible power consumption, making these ships surprisingly flexible in combat. The oldest of these ships had eight more of these mounted on turrets, but were generally refitted with newer Titanmetall 9K twin mass divers long before the Scourge invasion. Topping off this impressive armament is a single torpedo tube with an internal magazine sufficient for four of these ship-killing munitions.
The Olympus class grand battleships share several characteristics with the more common Trident class. They feature four enormous twin mass driver turrets, a large torpedo launch capacity and almost legendary toughness. Initially, the Olympus class was developed alongside the Trident. However, it was a low production experimental test bed for a new weapons system: the vent cannon. This was the first vessel to feature these unstable yet devastating energy weapons, and it paid the price in several catastrophic accidents. Kalium focused considerable effort into vent cannon technology, given its potency and their disregard for the lives of individuals.

This set contains 1 Resistance Battleship, able to be built as either a Trident or Olympus. With loads of extra parts and a modular design, this massive ship can be built in over 4000 different combinations!

The main hull can be built either front-heavy or rear-heavy, and you have a choice of two different engine blocks and two different prows. With all of this variation you can build a chunky front with a hammerhead in the classic pre-war style (known as the Trident or Olympus), or a rear-heavy catamaran style double turret reminiscent of later designs adopted by Kalium (frequently referred to as an Elysium or Eden build).

In addition to the two different sets of broadsides, the kit comes with three different keel and cockpit sections, which can be placed in three places around the ship. All are multi-purpose, which means no two Battleships need be the same.

The Trident design of ship mounts colossal batteries of Artillery Cannons. These Low Power weapons can be fired in addition to any others, so even on Standard Order you can fire two Mass Driver Turrets and the full broadsides.

The Olympus class meanwhile trades reliability for all-out damage with two batteries of Mega Vent Cannons. Lots of Attack, Damage, and the ability to Overcharge makes these very formidable weapons, although watch out for how Unstable they are!

The year is 2679. 160 years ago humanity was evicted from their home, invaded by the terrifying Scourge. A parasitic race determined to capture or kill every living being, they overwhelmed mankind’s defences.
Humanity escaped to the Colonies, abandoning Earth and the Cradle Worlds to their attackers. Now the United Colonies of Mankind have come back, fighting a bitter war for their home known as the Reconquest. They are beset on all sides not just from the Scourge, but the ancient alien Shaltari, the abandonists of the Post-Human Republic, and even on occupied worlds by the embittered Resistance.

Dropfleet Commander is a game of planet-bound fleet combat in the far future. Command fleets of colossal warships, unleash strike craft and deploy your ground forces in strategic naval battles above a war-torn planet.

Seizing ground and space objectives wins games, but a fierce tactical acumen is needed to act and react to your opponents moves. Predicting the flow of battle and directing your ships to counter your opponents and ensure the safe deployment of ground assets is key.

Written by David J Lewis, Scott Burns and Robin Gillie, this 64 page rulebook contains the 2.0 version rules. With everything you need to deploy your forces, including scenarios to play and help building your fleet for games. Take your battles into the atmosphere and help (or stop) the Reconquest!

These scenario cards contain all the components needed to generate the random scenarios found in the Dropfleet Commander rulebook. This set includes Deployment Types, Approach Types, Layouts, Variants, and Objectives you can use to create an astronomical amount of different scenarios for your games of Dropfleet Commander.

The scenarios you can generate with these cards can be tailored to your desired style of game. Want to play a balanced, competitive game? These cards have you covered, just combine components that favour both players equally. If you want to lay siege to orbital shipyards or shipping lanes in deep space, these cards have you covered.

Also included are 3 double-sided quick reference cards for Orders, Explosion & Crippling effects, as well as Dropsites & Features.

Made from high quality playing card material, these cards are oversized at 100mm x 60mm.

The Akuma class features a potent cloaking tailfin to mask this lethal killer’s
approach. It can then unleash its considerable oculus-based firepower or manoeuvre
violently with no negative consequences.

The Shadow’s Magnetron Lash makes it a close-range, hyper-aggressive executioner, combining multiple abilities to deadly effect. This is in addition to the already lethal Plasma Tempest equipped by several other Scourge battlecruisers.

The Umbra is best employed in a rearguard support role. Its Oculus Booster enhances the scalding potency of friendly ship’s oculus weapons, making this vessel a true force multiplier when cunningly positioned. The Banshee also employs the cloaking tailfin of its sister class the Akuma, but favours enhanced close-ranged firepower. It also harbours two massive torpedoes poised to blast a vast chunk from any ship’s hull before injecting swarms of nightmarish Razorworms into the wound.

This box includes:

• 2 Battlecruisers. One of either Shadow or Umbra can be built. One of either Akuma or Banshee can be built.
• 2 Dropfleet bases

The first two classes, designated Devil and Beelzebub, pack twin batteries of Mega Plasma Lances, traversable weapons designed to slay the largest foes. The Devil adds to this killing power with considerable launch capability, while the Beelzebub forgoes some of this in favour of Furnace Cannons.

The scourge bring these mighty battleships that are hellish on the battlefield. The Beelzebub brings the might Furnace Battery, this weapon will Burnthrough the strongest armour and is the destroyer of these builds. Sacrificing firepower for launch assets is the Devil, the additional fighters and bombers giving the scourge great options to counter enemy launch assets. 

The final variant of these mighty battleships is the Lucifer, this ship is built for speed and and carrying capacity, to rain them onto the enemy. 

This set includes:

• 1 Battleship
• 1 Dropfleet Base

The alien Scourge arrived on Earth with very little warning some 160 years previous. Within hours they had overwhelmed humanity’s defences and were well on their way to enslaving all of mankind with Scourge parasites implanted into their brains. With devastating plasma weaponry and lightning fast tactics, the defenders had little chance to counter.

Their ships are faster than almost any encountered, relying on searing oculus beams and deadly close action weaponry to eradicate any opponents before subjugating the remaining survivors. Silent and utterly alien, a human fleet can be deep within a Scourge trap before even realising they’re under attack.

This box contains the perfect beginnings of a Scourge Fleet. With three Scourge Cruisers and four Scourge Frigates, you get a balanced force able to deal with most incoming threats - especially the well-armoured ones! The Cruisers in this set can be constructed in a number of ways, from the oculus-heavy Shenlong to the fleet carrying Hydra or the Chimera with its bulk landers. Even the Frigates come in five varieties. With poseable tendrils on rotating mounts, no two ships in your fleet need look the same.

This box includes:

• 3 Cruisers
• 4 Frigates
• 7 Dropfleet Bases
• 1 Fastplay sheet

The Daemon class battleship and its sister class the Dragon are undoubtedly the oldest designs of starships still in service with the Scourge navy, behind the rarely seen Super Dreadnoughts. Their segmented hulls and undulating forms are quite different from most modern Scourge ships and the extent of their pitting, battle scars and general ageing have resulted in dating estimates of between 500 and 2000 years old for some examples. The disturbingly organic prow of the Daemon class is laced with oculus weapons and tipped with a pair of furnace cannons, making these veteran slaughterers among the most potent ships the hated aliens have to throw at mankind.

Similar to the Daemon, the Dragon class battleship is a truly ancient behemoth that has weathered the centuries to visit devastation and misery on countless subjugated races. While the Daemon is equipped solely with conventional ship-to-ship weapons, the Dragon includes a pair of cavernous hangar bays, lairs for roosting fighters and bombers. It also carries a pair of enormous Scourge torpedoes - capital ship killing superweapons against which there is little defence save fleeing the Dragon’s inexorable advance.

This set includes:

• 1 Resin Miniature

Facing a single Scourge Dreadnought generally means death. These 2000 metre monstrosities prowl the void, hunting prey imperiously. They are one-ship fleets, the mightiest vessels that this hated enemy has to unleash. The Nosferatu class packs vast Oculus banks and terrifying close action weaponry. The Cthulhu’s colossal triple furnace cannon can bisect a battleship. If that wasn’t terrifying enough, both carry swarms of strike craft and have potent stealth systems. By the time an opponent is able to finally plot a firing solution, it’s usually too late.

Introducing the biggest ships that Dropfleet Commander has ever seen. The Scourge Dreadnought is the largest of all the Dreadnoughts, with its mass of tentacles coming in at 225mm from front to back!

This set includes parts to make either the Scourge Nosferatu designation or the Scourge Cthulu Dreadnought (a fitting name!). If a massive ship with a 12 Attack Furnace Triad or 16 Oculus Beams weren't enough, try Full Cloak and Stealth! Ouch.
